Career Accelerator Program - Analog Design Engineer

Job Title

Career Accelerator Program - Analog Design Engineer

Role Summary

Early-career analog IC design role in Texas Instruments' Career Accelerator Program (CAP). The role focuses on designing, simulating, and implementing analog, mixed-signal, and RF integrated circuits and supporting product bring-up through collaboration with layout, test, and systems teams.

Experience Level

Entry-level / early-career. This position is part of a first-year accelerator program for recent graduates; no specific prior years of professional experience required.

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities include front-end design, simulation, and cross-functional collaboration from concept to product release.

• Define and align design specifications with business and systems engineering teams.
• Perform high-level architecture analysis and circuit trade-off studies to meet specifications and cost targets.
• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks focused on performance and robustness.
• Prepare for and participate in design reviews; produce required design and verification documentation.
• Work with layout engineers to guide IC layout and ensure performance implementation.
• Characterize prototype silicon and develop test specifications to support product bring-up and release.
• Develop and maintain behavioral models for system-level analysis and validation.
• Collaborate across design, layout, verification, validation, test, and product teams to drive execution.
• Gain exposure to related roles (design verification, digital design) through formal learning and on-the-job projects.

Requirements

Must-have: meet the Education Requirements below. Preferred (nice-to-have) qualifications are listed.

• Must-have: See Education Requirements below for degree and GPA expectations.
• Nice-to-have: Exposure to analog or mixed-signal IC design via coursework, research, internships, or projects (power modules, high-speed modules, PLLs, oscillators, transceivers).
• Understanding of semiconductor device physics and process-technology trade-offs.
• Ability to translate system requirements into circuit/IC-level specifications and think at the system level.
• Familiarity with schematic design and simulation, including Monte Carlo and post-layout extraction workflows.
• Awareness of physical layout considerations (parasitics, grounding, routing, die-area optimization).
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively across cross-functional teams and take ownership to drive tasks to closure.
• Strong verbal and written communication, analytical, interpersonal, and time-management skills.

Education Requirements

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related field. Cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 or higher. Relevant coursework or project experience in analog and mixed-signal IC design is expected or preferred.
